Super Mario Extreme: the corrupt edition
Cory Arcangel, eat your heart out: YouTube user LightningWolf3 is coming after the 8-bit art-glitch crown with a playlist 39 videos strong that consist of little more than Game Genie super corrupted versions of the various NES Marios.
The one above is his "most violent corruption" and the most curiously mesmerizing to watch, and surprising in that it appears still quite playable. Nintendo's been fairly forward in playing off its legacy with different SMB subversions (the circular tiltable version in WarioWare: Twisted springs to mind), but this makes me crave a remake as mindmelting as Space Invaders Extreme.

Hey, this is really cool. I checked out his other videos and he says he used a program called CORRUPT in addition to game genie codes.
I got really into hacking SMB last year, except on a real NES (some codes behave differently on real hardware) with game genie codes mixed/matched/tweaked from http://www.trsrockin.com/smb_glitches.html. Later I tracked down 4 game genies total and hooked them into each other in order to enter more codes at once, with that you can create some really cool playable scenarios like "all enemies are hammer bros but if you touch them they die instantly and also you are in some weird clouds only level with drunken music" in addition to crazy random glitchy hacks.

How chaotic. I love the music, especially how many of the sound effects sound as if they're being played backwards.

Isn't this kinda a take-off of what Cory Arcangel did a few years back( 2005)with Super Mario Movie, where he hacked a cartridge and programmed an entire movie where Mario is having an existential crisis because he is stuck in a world that is turned crazy ???....here it is in his words:
